CONCLUSION 576 MAINE LAW REVIEW [Vol. 60:2 RESURRECTING THE RULE OF LAW IN LIBERIA Jim Dube* I. INTRODUCTION The rule of law is more than a legal concept. It encompasses more than an established set of rules and legal institutions. In the case of Liberia, there can be no rule of law without the commitment of those relatively few people who administer those rules on behalf of a post-conflict state that has endured twenty-five years of civil war and exploitation. This Essay seeks to prove that existing legal architecture and institutions in a post-conflict state matter less to the rule of law than does the character of the people who run the legal system.
